and the probe.

You can adapt the corresponding windows to the measurement tasks in order to automatically

measure tools.

The following selection options can be switched-in or switched-out:

● Calibration plane, measurement plane

● Calibration feedrate (measuring feedrate)

Preconditions

● If you wish to measure your tools with a tool probe, the machine manufacturer must

parameterize special measuring functions for that purpose.

● Enter the cutting edge position and the radius or diameter of the tool in the tool list before

performing the actual measurement. If the tool is measured using a tool carrier that can be

orientated, then the cutting edge position must be entered into the tool list corresponding

to the initial tool carrier position.

● Calibrate the probe first.

Machine manufacturer

quently measured.
